· Review and chant your timeline 2 times. You should now have it almost totally memorized so we can begin blocking it in class.

· Continue to review the capitals cities of Europe taking a section at a time to memorize.

· Begin to read any of the following four readers we have for American History reading. They are the four Jean Fritz books and the Margaret Cousins book that have been on our curriculum list. They are to be read at your own pace but must be finished by May 13^th. When I refer to the American History Reading I am referring to: Will You Sign Here, John Hancock, Shh! We’re Writing the Constitution, Can’t You Make Them Behave, King George? And Then What Happened, Paul Revere? and Ben Franklin of Old Philadelphia
